PLUS

The intelligent solution for your vacuum process

PLUS

The PLUS in the name makes the difference.

PLUS technology combines proven Busch experience with cutting-edge features for Industry 4.0: Everything you need in one unit.

More than just vacuum pumps: With the PLUS technology you get your PLUS of possibilities:

  • Fully connected
  • Advanced control functionalities
  • Condition monitoring
  • Integration to any standard control system
  • Two operating modes: pressure control and constant speed
  • Large touch screen
  • Intuitive menu navigation

Operating modes of intelligent vacuum pumps
Users can choose between constant speed mode or pressure control mode, making the vacuum pump exceptionally energy-efficient.

Constant speed mode

For processes with constant vacuum demand, it is recommended to leave the PLUS vacuum pumps running at constant speed.

Pressure control mode

For processes with changing vacuum demand over time, the pressure control mode is the ideal choice. In this case the PLUS vacuum pumps adjusts the rotational speed according to the required vacuum level. Once this vacuum level has been achieved, the PLUS vacuum pumps continues to run at a minimum speed, enabling it to respond to a sudden need for increased vacuum demand and leading to further energy savings.

FAQ

How does the R5 PLUS differ from the other R5 vacuum pumps?
The R5 PLUS is our first fully connected vacuum pump. It enhances the proven Busch rotary vane vacuum technology with control, condition monitoring and communication.

This makes the R5 PLUS ready for Industry 4.0.

Why is the R5 PLUS ready for Industry 4.0?
The fully connected R5 PLUS series vacuum pumps bring the proven Busch rotary vane vacuum technology to the next level. With advanced control and monitoring functionalities they are ready for Industry 4.0.

The Modbus TCP/IP protocol allows integration into any standard process control system.

On the large high-definition color screen power consumption, oil temperature as well as inlet and outlet pressure curves can be displayed and therefore easily be supervised. In addition, oil level and motor frequency are always in view.

All relevant parameters can be adjusted and monitored allowing a perfect match to every process.

How does the R5 PLUS improve the efficiency and reduce the costs?
An integrated variable speed drive allows adjustments of the motor frequency from 35 to 60 Hz. This leads to energy savings of up to 50% compared to unregulated vacuum pumps.

Different operating modes ensure that R5 PLUS series vacuum pumps always run in optimum operating condition. In combination with the intelligent pressure control, ECO mode settings and the auto restart function further energy and cost savings are possible.

What is a variable speed drive and what are its benefits?
The variable speed drive allows adjustments of the motor frequency from 35 to 60 Hz. This leads to significant energy savings compared to unregulated vacuum pumps.

Which process parameters can be controlled and monitored with the R5 PLUS, as well as shown on the HMI display?
On the large high-definition color screen power consumption, oil temperature as well as inlet and outlet pressure curves can be displayed and therefore easily be supervised. In addition, oil level and motor frequency are always in view.

All relevant parameters can be adjusted and monitored allowing a perfect match to every process.

Can the operating time of the R5 PLUS be determined and scheduled? And how does it work?
The R5 PLUS has an integrated week planner, which allows to program the operating time of the R5 PLUS day by day. The week planner can be accessed on the large high-definition color screen.

Can maintenance intervals be planned more precisely? And how does it work?
Yes, maintenance intervals can be planned more precisely.

The condition of the components, the event history and the running hours are recorded permanently.

The required maintenance interval can thus be adjusted and indicated accordingly. Service intervals can thus be longer.

As a result, service costs can be reduced.

When does the vacuum pump give warnings or alarms?
For all relevant parameters warning and alarm thresholds are predefined, so the safety of the process and the vacuum pump is always ensured.

Warnings and alarms can be programmed for example if the oil temperature exceeds a certain level.
